FORTITUDE

Festival Preparation..🌸

Somewhere: Hidden Hideout
_______________________________

A sigh of disappointment echoed through the four walls of the room as a young teen frowns at the sunlight spilling inside.

His scarlet eyes blinked, noticable pout on his lips growling annoyingly as he stays at the darkest corner made just for him, where he stays during daylight. While his friends bask in the heat of the mighty sun, there he stayed at a dark corner feeling unwanted and jealous.

"Now, now don't you go frowning over there our handsome prince," the sweet voice of their only female comrade graces his ear as she squated in front of him.

"I brought you, sweets. I know you like them. Here!" The said girl spilled all the sweets she had, emptying the bag she was holding. From candies to cookies to chocolates.

The boy's eyes scanned them quickly only to frown deeper and looks away worrying his older friend.

"Yui, you love sweets. What happened? You don't want them?"

No response.

"Young man, sulking again today?"

The duo looks up to see the one and only Dabi towering over them with his usual smirk, changing the boy's mood drastically. If he was frowning before, he was angry now. His older friends could almost see steam coming out of his ears and nose, as he glared hard at Dabi.

"Now, don't look at me like that, Yui. You know you can't go out in the sun so we can't take you. Besides, it's a very dangerous mission. I know your strong but if as so much as scratch broke through that tender skin of yours, boss will wail in agony. Imagine if something worse happens, he'll destroy an entire city. Do you want that?" Dabi scolds sitting down besides the little man.

Yui didn't respond but just picked on his chocolates as the doors opened to reveal their tired of a boss and his trusted right hand man.

"Oh, welcome back guys!" The only girl Toga rose and greeted them to which the 2 tiredly acknowlede with a nod.

"That tired, huh," quirries Dabi studying the newly arrived who was coming for the baby of the group. Offcourse, the baby comes first.

Understandable.

Totally.

"You could say that again. Those criminals dared to make buildings collapse. We subdued them in the end but it drained us dry," the boss say crouching down to ruffle Yui's hairs.

"He's angry again. What did you do this tine?" the baby blue haired boss threw Dabi an accusing look to which the flame quirked narrows his eyes at him.

"Hey, no fair! He was sulking because we didn't let him tag along as you know the sun's so high outside!" the accused defends himself not appreciating how they always blame him for Yui's mood. Well, perks of being the baby's closest. He's the one who first bathed and clothed him when the boy was too weak to do it himself after all.

Shigaraki the boss chuckles gingerly and signals Kurogiri, his right hand man for something. Soon, he was handing the teen the sweetened fruit they brought along with them.

Enough to lighten the boy's mood. He snatched the candy fruit from Shigaraki before hastily digging his sharp fangs into it.

When Toga complains about her sweets being ignored, Dabi laughs along with Shigaraki saying he won the favor that day. But when Dabi tries getting a chocolate, Yui growls and covers them all while glarring daggers. Dabi quickly raises his hands in mock surrender while the whole ordeal finally brightened Toga's mood.
